Roger,

I can't say if this expected on SCO as I only work in windows.  However, You
might want to consider using dummy fields in a screen in your local file and
then post the data to the lookup file.  By doing so, you can use @wefnn
and/or @wlfnn to insure the validity of the information entered and insuring
no blank fields.
